Our verdict

Perplexity's companion extension summarizes the page you're on, answers quick questions from the toolbar, and keeps context tied to the current page or domain so follow-up questions build on each other. Shareable links make it easy to pass an answer along to someone else. At 3.8 stars across 446 ratings, it's solidly reviewed but not flawless, and like any AI search tool, accuracy depends on how well it reads and sources the page in front of it.
